Regarding the yubel fusion ruling, the chimeratech monsters (for cyber dragons) they have that same condition so because it says "cannot be used as fusion material" and not "cannot be used for a fusion summon" it means you cant use it as material for a fusion monster even if the summon of that fusion monster is a special summon and not a fusion summon. Its why cyber dragons that make a fortress (or megafleet) then if that fortress gets impermed they can't use that fortress + another cyber dragon to make another fortress. If I had a nikel for every cyber dragon ruling that has provided a precedent for a new card in the past few days, I'd have 2 nikels, which isn't a lot, but its weird that it's happened twice. (Yesterday was nova regarding possession for the new blue eyes monster with redoer, and today its chimeratechs regarding cannot be used as fusion material for phantom of yubel).
@@DM-zi2up It works in the same way that S:P's effect to stop direct attacks works. So if you summon other types of extra deck monsters before you activate the effect to make tokens it's still able to be legally activated and resolved, then for the rest of the turn after you can only water synchro.
The new support for each Terminal deck is insane. But the fact they didn't reprint the most important Ritual Beast main deck monster to reprint, the absence of half of the new Sky striker support coupled with the QCR lock for Magia, and the Skystriker alt art is really disapointing. It's frustrating because this set could have been so perfect with all the good reprint and some newcard we have (all the Spright, Diviner, Kurikara, ...)
On Dueling Nexus, I played 30 matches with pure Ice Barrier and I lost a total of 3 matches. I have since only lost one more match with it but didn't count as I wasn't testing anymore. It's actually a great control deck. Here's the basic idea: Summon Revealer and pitch Mirror Mage, summon Georgious. Georgious reborn Mirror Mage and Mirror Mage search Winds. Mirror Mage tribute Revealer to summon 3 tokens. Winds tribute Mirror Mage and the three tokens to summon Secret Guards, Warlock, and Speaker. Georgious and Speaker synchro summon Lancea. If you opponent special summons, you can choose based on what it looks like they are playing what to summon from deck. If you see a Tenpai card, summon Defender. If you see a Floo, summon Revealer, if you see Runick, summon General Wayne. If you see combo, summon General Raiho. If you see a gy strategy, summon Georgious. Then if they special again summon Dai-Sojo for spell/trap protection or Raiho to hinder their resources. If your opponent gets rid of Lancea with a full board, summon Zero Dragon for a 3 card banish. If your opponent has nothing or very little on board, summon Trishula for hand/gy control. On your turn, banish Winds to get Georgious back and go off. Essentially make the game as difficult as possible for your opponent to navigate. You definitely want to play Crossout and Called By as well as Ash and Imperm. I've found siding White Howling to be a nice tech. Foolish Burial, Hexa, Revealer, Medallion, One For one, and Foolish Burial goods are all one card starters as well.
The glow-up that Ice Barrier received is insane. For so long, the deck has been the butt of so many jokes, often deemed the "worst deck in YGO". Fast forward to BLTR, and not only is the deck actually playable and cohesive, but it also didn't forgo it's entire identity as an archetype to do it, like so many waves of legacy support seem to do.
Ice barrier has level 7 synergy with Kash rebirth and you can also splash in a small UMI engine to water lock spell lock with level 7 Ice barrier, 1 jelly negate, 1 kash is your typical end board
And it fits for lore reasons, too, since Phantom is the incomplete version of Yubel (when she was just an arm and a lava lamp), and so she's lower Level than Yubel.
I think this is the first set where it seems that Konami has deliberately not given QCRs to cards that already have starlight’s. Cards like Kurikara, Mirrorjade, and Cartesia you would think would be no brainers for QCRs but they didn’t do it. I’m actually happy with this choice.
Pretty good set, disappointing that master magia is exclusively a qcr (allegedly), I would have gotten myself a secret copy. Phantom of yubel summon not being opt seems like a major design oversight, I imagine it will get limited within the next 2 banlists.
ritual beast got best matchup against yubel or fiendsmith engine in general (even without shifter), ulti-reirautari prevents them from activating yubel samsara and fiendsmith requiem eff.
Since they were announced, i've felt that RB were held back by maxx c being legal in the ocg, since they basically saw 0 play on release. Excited to see if people are willing to put in the work with them, as the deck has a really high ceiling.
My only fear with Ritual Beast is that it's going to be another Branded situation, where if Ritual Beast starts to become a meta threat, everyone will simply start running Lancea and the entire deck turns into a potato and does basically nothing. If anything it's worse than Branded Fusion getting Ashed, Branded usually still has a play or 2 that they can sqeeze out for follow up but man, Ritual Beast really can do basically nothing at all under Lancea, makes it feel lile Crossout is going to be a 100% include for the deck, it has the space dont get me wrong, it just feels strange.
Its funny cause Repair Genex Controller literally gets stopped by i think almost every single hand trap in the meta, veiler and imperm shut it down, ghost ogre since it can only be summoned once, ghost belle/D.D. Crow and sometimes bystial stops the add back so no additional normal summon, nib just auto wins, and ash blossom stops the search after you add back from grave so no additional normal summon and going second any interuption at all lol
The other thing you can do when Phantom of Yubel is on the GY. Find a way to destroy Yubel when you have Nightmare Throne, activate effect of Nightmare Throne since PoY is one level less than Yubel, put it back on the ED and summon it again.
im shocked at the decent amount of good reprints, and im happy that we have the end of the diviner saga first we all expected her in the RA02, then she wasnt, then she ended up as an OTS 25 ulti, and now shes in here as ultra all of this in not even a month
Today I learned about ritual beast runick? No but I’ve been messing around with the new cards since they were announced, and idk if it’s as good as snake eyes, but it’s definitely really good. It’s also a spreadsheet deck tho, and requires the biggest of brains to play 😢
someone in the comments saying ice barrier relies on its normal too much- not at all. ive had full boards with zero normals. ive been piloting this on edopro for a month ish in prerelease and i love this deck so much. its got issues (bricky) but it has real juice too
@don945646 been testing on omega and it goes hard. Barrier statue lock when you draw even just 1 runick spell. And, my fav part is that you are able to play through interruption way better. Usual combo is normal summon hexa spirit, dump mirror mage. If it gets negated you can runick into gleipnir and boom, lancea
its an amazing set - got some pote reprints early, for the weirdos their cheap diviner branded reprints before sanctifier ban ^^ the Ritual Beast, Barrier and infernoid stuff for those that care and similarly for my taste Genex, Dragon Ruler and Yubel Support overall everything a set should have, good relevant reprints for meta and older decks - and new support instead of introducing the twenty thousandst new shitty arche typ (nvm toys maybe) best of all is - that now only Tear hasnt been reprinted from POTE and that means the chances for very shiny tear cards in the tins , rises !!!
I'm mad. There's no excuse for the lack of an Elder reprint, incomplete release of the Sky Striker cards, or the rarity bumping nonsense Magia and the Raye alt art have to go through. Mavens was the last time I grabbed boxes because the free sleeves were an amusing little bonus, but I feel justified in never spending on the TCG again.
All the hype about Dragon master magic is ridiculously outrageous. Almost €500 for a card that could also be reprinted in the next structure deck. Not to mention that it doesn't even have that strong an effect.
What's with all the fire cards and fire support Konami you realize you have like six other attributes right as if Snake Eyes needed more help to recur all the cards they just used
Why would SE use Oil when Flamberge does more for free? This is for all the other Fire decks, it's a bit ironic to say that Fire is oversupported when you equate Fire with SE only, like there aren't other Fire decks.
Snake-Eyes Poplar is the worst card ever printed. [Now that the Snake-Eyes players have disliked my comment and left, read below.] I'm worried that Infernoid Flood might be strong enough to get roped into Snake-Eyes. In TCG, Snake-Eyes would run Jet Synchron as an Original Sinful Spoils target up until the two best Synchro it could make got banned, I'm pretty sure the deck could run Infernoid Decatron for a Summon Negate. Is it the worst thing they could get? No, but it's another tool.
@@doostine8706 throne’s effect can let you grab the monster and add it to your hand, then you can special summon it. So you simply add to extra deck since extra deck monsters sent to hand are added back to the extra deck

There is a Translating misstake in mirror mage. It doesnt lock you the whole turn into water synchros. Just for "the rest of the turn".
This is very important to know, since it allows pure ice barrier to beat nib with bahamut toad

Today we learn about Runick ritual beast
The shortest yugioh cardlength is 1 with the card called "7". A very old contius spell that lets you draw 1 (for each) if you have 3 "7" on the board.
Mirror Mage does not lock you for the entire turn, translation issue on this website, look at MST Opening Video 15:40 for a correct Effect Text

Thank you for pointing out the Phantom of Yubel ruling.
I Really appreciate these types of videos. Thanks
Just wait until josh discovers abt runick ice barrier 😂
The new Dragonruler is finally here
Ice barrier has level 7 synergy with Kash rebirth and you can also splash in a small UMI engine to
water lock
spell lock with level 7 Ice barrier,
1 jelly negate,
1 kash is your typical end board
Happy for the Kurikara reprint
Today I learned about Ice Barrier Runick
The only issue with infernoid in tcg is no grass and reasoning/monster gate limited
Can't wait for blue eyes to win another WCS
I think the reason phantom of yubel is a lvl 9 is so it will trigger the effect of nightmare throne if it leaves
Yeah tribute to destroy Spirit from deck, Spirit summons Yubel and Throne adds Spirit to hand to special or just keep as battle trap
And it fits for lore reasons, too, since Phantom is the incomplete version of Yubel (when she was just an arm and a lava lamp), and so she's lower Level than Yubel.
Phantom at 2 is fine since you can recyle it from grave with the field if you pop a lvl 10 yubel monster. Especially since extra deck space is tight
Diviner: Fine, I'll make my own good reprint set
Why was the new fire king monster not in here but is released in master duel?

Toy Box with Magicians' Souls is crazy. Draw 2, special summon 2, then add 1. Plus 5 with the option to go into a Rank 4 or Link 2 or 3
Josh is gonna find a way to make Genex playable in Runick
And all that is is "Put it in the deck" and your good.
It's crazy the cover card is only a QC 💀💀💀💀
(But the spright reprints, diviner, granguignol and the new stuff is nice)
